Chris Wilder concedes he's feeling the pressure at winless Sheffield United.

United have failed to win any of their opening eight games and host West Ham on Sunday sitting bottom of the table.

"We are all under pressure, you can't get away from that," said Wilder. "I understand the pressures of the game, I understand the consequences of the game.

"But I think people have to take things into perspective and be realistic. It is after eight games, and the fixtures we have played, especially recently, have not been too kind.

"You put yourself under enormous pressure and I put my staff under pressure to deliver and my players. We have to get on with it and try and impact what we can.

"There's no getting away from it, it's not the start that we wanted.

"But we have to recognise it will be a different season to last season. It poses different challenges for us and ones that we are ready to tackle."
